Whole LOTTA trainin' goin' on here! First, Liz is learning to pony a horse, which is very, very tricky and can be dangerous. (An adult horse could pull her saddle off.) She must learn to think in nine different directions, control her riding horse safely and softly, control her pony horse from running ahead, control her rope from getting out of position, and be ready at the drop of a hat to undally her rope in case of emergency. She's learning early to multitask! Then, Sweet Tater is learning to tolerate a horse bumping around on and all around him, his head, his tail, his side. He has to learn to control his feelings of his personal space being violated. And then sweet little Lorena (War Eagle's filly) is learning to be separated from her mother for the first time AND to be ponied from a strange horse with a human looming over her head for the first time. All three students get an A+ today!

♫♫ "One of these things is not like the other . . . ♫♫ (Can't quit singing Sesame Street today!) Liz is the only animal in this picture with shoes on. The grey she is riding "Sweet Tater" and the black and white Tennessee Walking Horse filly she is leading "Lorena" are both barefoot, just like they were born! How cool izzat? Both horses are for sale. As you can see, Tater is a GREAT useful tool around the ranch. (Click on picture above to see information on Tater.)

Lorena on 4/28/12.

"Lorena" is a beautiful black and white spotted (tobiano) Tennessee Walking Horse filly for sale that will have a magnificent gait, classy high headset, probably mature to 15.2 or 15.3H, and has had a really good start in life, being imprinted at birth and taught natural horsemanship training/respect early. She already knows how to lead, stand tied, pony, have her feet handled, be groomed/bathed, load in a trailer and be led by a 4-wheeler. She is well accustomed to dogs, turkeys, chickens, cattle, sheep, goats, and extemely busy highway traffic and she's not even 4 months old yet! We plan to wean her no earlier than September 1st and no later than November 1st. She eats feed, hay and grazes along with her mother now. (We named her Lorena after a character in Lonesome Dove, but her new owner could change her name.)

Imprinted at birth, gentle halter lessons during first two weeks, then turned out to be free for a few months.

"My momma is a beautiful blonde and I look like my handsome daddy!"

Click on embedded arrow ABOVE (first half of video) to see Lorena's first ponying lesson, and first time to be taken out of her mother's sight. This is also her first time to be worked since 5/1/12 (so she went 3 months without human hands on her). We love raising them this way -- they're natural horses with a horse personality, not an over-humanized disrespectful animal.

Lorena's Dam: "Another Shiloh"

This golden palomino Tennessee Walking Horse mare is dark gold and never fades, not even in the sun. She is also a sabino, as evidenced by the white splotch on her side.
